I actually loved tinkering with things like motorbikes and saw it was no different than dentistry. I was always amazed at how I suffered during dental treatment as a kid! No cuspidor, a drill driven by two rubber bands. I always knew that there was a squirrel chasing a nut on a treadmill, powering that drill!
I love the technical aspects of dental procedures in general. Dental surgery is my favorite but my all-time high is seeing the tears of joys in someones eyes when they see the results of a cosmetic case!
I recommend Dr. Infantino to anyone who is afraid of going to the dentist. I don't do well with pain and due to an issue many years ago, I've been terrified of needing dental work. I had a root canal today; my first adult dental procedure. I have to say, Dr. Infantino far exceeded my expectations. No pain whatsoever!!!! My biggest fear was the needle for numbing and I didn't feel a thing. Can't forget to mention his amazing staff either. Very supportive and caring individuals!!
General Dentistry focuses on preventing small problems from becoming bigger, expensive issues. Its a crucial part of ensuring your smile stays healthy. Also, a healthy smile keeps your overall health in tip-top shape. Studies have shown oral diseases, such as gum disease, have a direct connection to health risks, including heart disease, diabetes, preterm birth, and so much more.
We believe general dentistry should be catered to your needs, which is why every checkup with our team will be far from routine. Coming into our office every six months is the first step to keeping you and your familys smiles healthy. This allows us to stop dental issues from evolving by using modern technology, such as digital x-rays and intraoral cameras to examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall wellness.
We have two wonderful hygienists at our office who work extremely hard to deliver gentle and thorough cleanings. A regular hygiene visit happens at the same time as your comprehensive exam, where well get rid of excess plaque and tartar. During this visit to Salvatore J Infantino DMD, our hygienists will also provide useful advice on how to brush and floss and will answer all of your questions.
To maintain healthy gums or heal gums that may be compromised by periodontal disease, Dr. Sal highly recommends ECO Balance Oral Health Care Boost This text opens a new tab to the official website. He even uses it himself!
Did you know about 9,700 people will die of oral cancer? Despite this scary statistic, its possible to beat this cancer with early detection. We love this community and were committed to beat this disease by doing an oral cancer screening during your checkups with us.
By catching the early signs of oral cancer, you and Dr. Sal can immediately plan the next steps to prevent this disease from worsening. If you are experiencing pains and sores in the mouth (that arent going away), please contact us and well be happy to do a checkup.
Your molars (teeth in the very back of your mouth) can be extremely difficult to clean because of their deep grooves. Food debris is more likely to get trapped, which can lead to tooth decay if not treated properly.
Thats where sealants come in, which are thin, tooth-colored coatings painted on the surfaces of teeth. This protective layer prevents tooth decay by sealing it out. We usually do sealants for children who are more prone to tooth decay; however, we do have them available for adults as well.
The tooth nerve (the inside of your tooth) is the heart of a tooth; its what keeps it alive. When it becomes severely infected (improper hygiene or an accidental trauma), Dr. Sal, your dentist in Pittston, PA may recommend a root canal to save the tooth. If you think getting a root canal will be a traumatic experience, dont worry! Modern technology and our teams caring nature will ensure this process is as painless as possible.
I recommend Dr. Infantino to anyone who is afraid of going to the dentist. I don't do well with pain and due to an issue many years ago, I've been terrified of needing dental work. I had a root canal today, my first adult dental procedure. I have to say, Dr. Infantino far exceeded my expectations. No pain what so ever!!!! My biggest fear was the needle for numbing and I didn't feel a thing. Can't forget to mention his amazing staff either. Very supportive and caring individuals!!

I was in need a new dentist and Dr. Infantino was able to see me immediately. He addressed my questions and concerns in a respectful, polite and professional manner. The oral care I receive is top notch and his staff is friendly and attentive. I travel 35 miles to his office, it is worth the drive. A+

Unhinged. Poor emotional regulation. Quick to anger and verbalize to the patient. If you've got anxiety about the dentist, definitely do not go here.

It is always a pleasure going to Dr. Infantino. I have severe anxiety about going to the dentist. Dr. Infantino, as well as his employees, make me feel comfortable and eliminate the tense environment. His flexibility and how he works with the issues I present isn't anything but exceptional. It's clear to see that he's great at what he does. Best dentist around.

Can't say enough good things about this office. I needed an extraction done that my regular dentist could not do. I called a few offices and the earliest availability was a month away for just the consult. Dr Infantino did the consult 2 days after I called him and the tooth was pulled within 5 days. I was pain free the next day. The office staff treated me like I had been going there for years. Dr Infantino was highly personable and professional during my 2 visits. I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Infantino is by far the best! He is a skilled and professional Dentist. He takes a great deal of pride in his cosmetic dentistry, and keeps up to date on the newest and best treatments options. Dr. Sal has been voted the BEST Dentist in Greater Pittston for several years! He always makes me feel comfortable and calms my nerves with every procedure I've had there over the years. 5 STARS plus +++

Easily the best dentist I've ever been to. I've been seeing Dr Sal for about 6 years now and before seeing him my teeth were a mess. He made everything right with no pain and a very caring approach to his craft. His staff is excellent; they all do their jobs with care, and a professional but fun attitude. I wish I had met Dr Infantino years ago because if I had I wouldn't have avoided the dentist as I did for so long.

I've been going to Sal since I moved to the area in 2004. He is THE BEST! He makes me and my kids extremely comfortable. In fact, we all look forward to our appointments. I trust him completely with my family's dental care. An added bonus, everyone in the office is really nice.

I have been to many dentists over the course of my lifetime and Dr Sal is by far thee best... I have had a root canal, fillings, wisdom teeth pulled... all with little to no pain and super quick recovery. Dr Sal had even texted me to check to see how I was doing after the procedure... in that office you truly are family. Many other friends, coworkers and peers in media trust their smiles to Dr Sal as well. Going to the dentist has never been so stress free as Dr Sal talks to you the whole time. The best of the best.

Incredibly unprofessional and unethical. Came for a filling Infantino himself suggested, then when I got there he suggested we file down the teeth instead which I was adamant I was against. He proceeded to put the drill in my mouth anyways and say "watch" without explaining prior what he was doing at all. I felt pain and urged him to stop as best I could with my mouth open, which set him off to get up, put his tools down and storm out of the room while raising his voice and saying "I can't stand people today", then telling me to leave. I apologized and said I felt pain, to which he responded in a poor tone "If that's pain, honey, then I don't know what to say". I walked out with my front teeth filed down and the other as is, leaving me with crooked looking teeth up close. Take your business elsewhere, I will be filing grievances.
